I don't get onto MLU often & when I saw the earlier post & I have to admit I was stunned. It's only when these events occur that we realise the frailty of life & I, like many have been keeping an eye on this thread for regular updates.
Our hobby is only enhanced with gentlemen of his character & enthusiasm.
I suggest that a gathering is arranged for a toast at Corowa next year, maybe even a regular thing to remember any who pass between meets

Default Awful news.....

Everyday I checked in for developments in Bob's condition...... my worst fear has occurred.

My deepest condolences to his wife Ada and all his family.

Every time I see sparks fly from a grinder I will remember him .........

Bob C.

I've been away for a few weeks and only just returned to discover this terrible news. I never met Bob - in fact I've met only a handful of people on the MLU website - but I'd formed an opinion of what an engaging and humorous guy he must have been through his posts. Terrible, terrible news - hearts go out to his family...

Default Funeral arrangements

The date of the funeral is yet to be determined as there is the matter of the coroner being involved, but it will be at Mt. Barker in the Adelaide hills.

Ada has said according to Bob's wishes it will be simple and short and she is not planning to advertise it in the paper, however friends are welcome to attend.

For those who would like to send a card to Ada Hugh has given me her address which I will share via a PM rather than publicly post it here.

Default Ada's computer

Just heard their computer stopped working a couple of days before Bob's accident so if anyone has emailed to Bob's address Ada won't be able to look at it for the time being.
